Conrad Johnson Premier 8a

 Finally getting around to upgrading a pair of CJ Prem 8's, sending to Bill Thalmann , with the V-cap capacitor upgrade. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts about this and what power tubes , 6550 or KT 120 one might recommend?

appreciate the anticipated responses!

I expect you'll be quite happy with the results. Aside from the cutf V-caps the other upgrades that  Bill will perform. You're in good hands. I have no comment regarding which tubes might be preferable with these amps. Haven't heard a pair in a system for years but was always impressed with the Premier 8s.

Thanks tubegroover! I believe Bill actually designed the 8's, so i trust i will not be disappointed!! He also recommended the KT120's...
